Close Encounters in Denver
I’m a real people person. But I like being alone a lot, too. I often like traveling by myself, at least part of the time. Sometimes I just need to be on my own schedule without having to consider another’s wants or needs. I also have more encounters—interesting or otherwise—when I’m alone.
The Lobby at Denver’s Hotel Monaco
This turned out to be the case recently at Denver’s Hotel Monaco. I was to stay at this stylish hotel a couple of nights before flying out to the east coast. When I arrived, their wine hour was in full swing. I made a mental note to be sure to check it out the next evening. The hotel’s boldly colored lobby beckoned.
After the bellman provided me with a brief tour of the room, I noticed a goldfish in a big round bowl on the desk. I peered down at it and read the adjoining notice that talked some about the fish, its environment and what not to do to it. I learned that I was not to share the crumbs from my granola bar—or anything else—with it for example. I looked at it again and registered one thought: gimmicky.
